Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-56:
--------------------------------
As to your last comment, I don't see a reason to optimize for the rare case.
At a minimum, this could be done as a follow-on change.
I'd propose that this be done via the roster tool. Proposed flow: outgoing PMC
chair visits the page for the commitee that he/she chairs. Double clicks on
the new chair. Instead of seeing only buttons describing removal actions, sees
an additional button to draft a chair change resolution. When that button is
pushed, a modal dialog appears containing a draft resolution in a textarea,
enabling changes to be made. There are options to cancel or submit the
resolution.
If submitted, the chair change resolution is added to the next board agenda (if
one can be found) and the email is sent to the board list copy the private list
for the PMC in question.
At the conclusion of the board meeting, the secretary processes the
resolutions, which currently means updating LDAP. That code doesn't currently
send out emails or update committee-info.txt. The former is just simply a
TODO. The latter was a conscious decision as it introduces the new chair to
the idea of directly editing committee-info.txt. Now that the latter can be
done via the roster tool, it may be time to revisit that decision.

> I don't think there can be a non-PMC chair unless imposed by the board, but I
> suppose one could allow for an alternative...
